Superintendent budgets shift based on several factors: project size and complexity, sector (heavy civil, data center, rail, tunnels, wastewater, site development), years of experience, safety record, team size, and whether the role requires travel. A superintendent managing a large data center or tunnel project will typically command more than one running a smaller site development job. Traveling superintendents generally earn a higher base plus per diem, vehicle allowance, and lodging on top. Geography also plays a role, with high-cost metros pushing compensation higher across the board. Amundson Group places superintendents nationwide, with particularly deep experience across Texas, Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Nashville, Phoenix, Denver, and the Virginia corridor.
